Best ride of year, so far.
The weather was cold, windy & damp. However the skies started to clear as the morning progressed and it became a great ride. I headed into the 18 mph wind for the first 25 miles. I stopped for coffee and met three riders from the popular XXX racing club. They invited me to tag along and my fender-clad 1978 Trek 400 and I hung in there with a pace of 17 to 22 mph. I even pulled for a while and went off-the-front during a curvy section. Considering I've been mostly off the bikes since November, I was really pleased.
After about 15 miles of hanging in there, I thanked them and let them pull ahead.
I covered 51 miles in a little over 3 hours. Now I just need to ride my target of 10 to 15 days a month.
Michael
